So what about all the big party yachts and all that other crowd. It's because you can't tax it the same.
@westernstar91214 ай бұрын
That's exactly what it is they don't have to pay property tax or docking fees, and most importantly all these party Yachts owned by these rich Millionaires and billionaires actually brings more pollution and trash to the Bay because keyword party Yachts after one weekend a whole lot can produce trash just off of beer cans clothes and whatever else they dumped overboard

So I am disabled and in my state it's legal to garden in the front yard. I started growing some vegetables in buckets and pots and the city came against me claiming that roaches would hide under the containers. Fine, I got rid of most of them because I cannot afford a fine. I put down cardboard and mulch to go ahead and kill all the grass, and now there's a ton of roaches living in the mulch! What's funny is I never saw any when I was moving the containers. Oh and the guy actually asked me "well just how many vegetables do you need to eat?" I didn't even have that many! Insanity. At least peasants were allowed to grow their food during the middle ages.

SF residents are always keen to deal with the homeless issue until they find out dealing with it may involve slight damage their rapidly rising property values (as if an increased homeless population doesn't do that) then suddenly they oppose new housing and support initiatives. While there's about 40 years of programs with misguided rationales and lackluster apathy we really gotta thank Mayor Lee for bending over backwards to court techbros and luxury development and allowing social nets to break apart. Turns out the solution to the homeless issue isn't another skyscrapper charging $4k for a 1br or office buildings that are more clout flexes for companies than actual productivity spaces.

The house boats sit in plain view of the richest community in SF. They’re claiming it’s bringing down property values. They also can’t tax property that doesn’t sit on land. In other words, the government thinks it’s an eyesore, and can’t make money from it, so they want it gone. If it’s an eyesore but they can still make money from it, SF City officials would leave it alone.

I looked into floating homes and asked some owners in Port of Redwood City, Ca Bay Area. The monthly mooring fee wasn't much lower than apartment rents and the fee is based on the size of the water displacement of the home. I didn't ask about floors because all had a second floor, but some had a third one and I wonder if that increases the fee? The large ones have concrete floats (yes concrete) which make a complete basement too. The floating homes rest on the sea floor when the tide is out and can become damaged from hitting debris that wanders down below it, so owners have to hire a private diver to inspect the floating hull. So, even though older smaller homes were going for $60k-$80K back around 2010, the monthly costs can be more than renting an apartment.
